Make Two Ingredients Coconut Barfi
New Delhi: Coconut Barfi is a flavorful Indian sweet recipe prepared using just 2 ingredients – coconut and jaggery in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Grated Coconut
- 1 cup Jaggery (Gur, chikki jaggery, or Anta god)
Instructions
- In a pan on medium to medium-low heat, add jaggery and coconut, and keep stirring the mixture.
- It changes its color from light brown to dark brown in a few minutes. Please see that you keep stirring the mixture during the entire process to avoid it from burning at the bottom and for even cooking.
- The mixture becomes thick, excess moisture evaporates and starts leaving the base. For a softer barfi, remove it at this stage. For a perfect melt-in-mouth barfi, cook for additional 1 or 2 minutes. For a barfi with a toffee-like texture, cook further for 3 to 4 minutes (mixture becomes harder to stir).
- I generally cook for additional one or two minutes on low flame after the mixture becomes thick (i.e. I do not stop at the soft burfi stage), all the moisture has evaporated and starts leaving the pan. Switch off the flame. You should be able to make a ball easily from the mixture.
- Spread this mixture on parchment paper or a plate (thali) greased with ghee or butter and flatten it with the back of a ladle and let it cool for few minutes. Cut into the desired shapes and enjoy.
